Why is volume of Spotify so much lower than all other apps?
So I've just installed the Spotify app on my Sony z3 and the volume is so much lower than all the other audio out puts.. I have no issue listening to audio normally via the normal music player but with Spotify I have to put volume on max and muck about with equaliser... I'm pretty disappointed about this and if there is no solution I doubt I'll continue beyond the trial as is not fit for purpose as it is.. And help is appreciated.
Yeah it also gives the illusion of crappy sound because you can't hear everything. People think it's muffled because it can't play as loud. I even analyzed the audio to see how it compared to other services by normalizing the audio. Everything sounded the same but at the regular volume it sounds muffled. I really wish they would raise the default volume.

Why Does Apple Still Use a different charger than all other phones?
I was curious as to why Apple is still using a different type of charger than most other brands?

No, there is no such law in the U.S.
Nor in any of the hundred or so countries where the iPhone is sold, as the iPhone would not be allowed to be sold in those countries if there was such a law. -

Why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?
why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?
Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?
Some programs such as Photoshop give the option to print to CMYK or sRGB color spaces. Even though the printer uses CMYK inks the driver is expecting sRGB data. If CMYK is selected the prints will be much too dark.
Another thing to check is the media type. If you are printing on plain paper and have seelcted Photo paper the prints have too much ink.

Why is ATV output so much louder than my other components?
I have the ATV connected through an AV Receiver along with other HDMI stuff (DVD player, etc.). When I select the ATV, the music is always much louder than any other components. Like it scares the heck out of everyone if we don't remember to change the volume first.
I've played around with sound check stuff and had no luck.
Any suggestions on how to level the noise by default?
Thanks.This has always been a problem with ATV. The latest version 2.3 has music volume control, which helps, but it resets whenever you switch to a different media format (TV, Movies, Youtube, etc.). I am hoping that they will let you define a default volume for the ATV in the next version.
Also, some users have reported different volume settings under different output formats (HDMI, digital, analog, etc.).
Hope that helps (although I know it doesn't). -
May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.
Or you can actived the right button on your magic mouse and click on they icon in the dock. then you select "stop" and it's out of your dock.

Is the macbook pro much better than any other laptop?
I am currently wanting to buy a laptop, I am deciding whether to buy a macbook pro or just a regular laptop. Is it really worth it to spend so much more?
Thank you! ~ mtumblerDon't forget where you're asking that question.
Since nearly all people here have Macs, we obviously felt they were worth the price. "Much better than any other laptop" is a fairly subjective statement. All the major manufacturers have excellent high-end options. When comparing prices, you need to compare similar specifications and quality. You can certainly get cheaper PC computers, but similarly spec'd machines with similar build quality are generally around the same price (and actually sometimes somewhat higher).
The areas that most of us would agree puts Apple at the top are OS X, quality/design, and customer service. Only Macs can run OS X. For those of us that use OS X, we typically prefer it over Windows (by quite a bit). However, this isn't always a positive for someone moving over from Windows. There is a little bit of a learning curve. If you are going to need to be able to do everything you want, you need to understand that it might take a little time to figure everything out. You can install Windows alongside the Mac OS to help make the transition a little easier, but that requires that you purchase a copy of Windows. So far as quality and design... Apple has always been a leader in this area. However, as I had mentioned earlier, most major manufacturers have caught up in this area... at least with respect to their high-end offerings. It's really a matter of preference in terms of which you like more. No one offers the same level of customer service that you'll get from Apple. No other manufacturer has retail stores like Apple where you can go in with your machine and have someone (who knows about Apple products) check out your machine on the spot. Their phone support is also excellent and their user support community (where you're at now) is second to none.
So... most of us would agree that we feel Apple products are "better". But if you were to go to a typica PC forum and ask the same question, you'll find people who would argue fanatically that they're not. The reality is that there isn't that much of a difference in the hardware. You need to decide if something like the OS (which you probably don't have much experience using), design, and support are important to you. -
Why is the Lumia Icon's (929) ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone+sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)
Hello Lena,
Yes, tried all those things.
After going back and forth with Verizon's "tier 2" technical support over the last 2 days, a chat session with Nokia, no call-backs-as-promised by your technicians, then having them reinstall the phone's software -that didn't fix the problem. So they are sending me a re-manufactured replacement phone. But not a NEW ONE, because I didn't realize the problem within 14 days. You see at first, I just figured the phone had lousy volume, until I was previewing ringtones when setting the alarm clock. The phone is about one and a half months old. I have expressed my desire that a NEW phone be sent, but NO says Verizon.
I've spent enough time, in good faith, Verizon would solve this matter, but in the process of their re-installing the software they've screwed up Backup Assistant.
Thanks. -
Import volume much lower than the (clean) CD playback
I had a quick search, and apologise if this has been bashed before...
I'm importing a CD (St Germain - Tourist, in case you were interested). When playing back the CD version, and then the ACC ripped track, the volume is far far lower, its infuriating! Changing the bit rate makes no difference.
The CD signal is clean and crisp, there is no reason for itunes to crank it down... is there any way to fix this on the import? Changing the levels in 'get info' afterwards doesn't make much difference, its still far lower than the original.
thanks,
tomThe first things I would do are;
1. Go to iTunes > Preferences > Playback, and disable both Sound Enhancer and Sound Check.
2. Turn off the EQ (accessed by clicking the Equalizer button in the lower right corner of the iTunes window). -
New MBP max speaker volume much lower than 2008 MBP
I have just bought a new (black keyboard) MBP. I still have an older 2008 MBP of nearly identical specification (which had started to become unreliable).
The speakers on the old MBP when turned up to maximum, are about 10dB louder than those on the new MBP. This makes the new MBP far too quiet.
I did migrate apps to the new one, but there are no hacks or anything like that.
Is there anything (apart from the System Prefs panel and the application volume control) that would be limiting the speaker volume on the new MBP? Or is it intrinsic to the new model? (I hope not). Happens across all audio apps, including the "bips" from the keyboard volume control keys.
DNYes. The old MBP is much louder. I have the "decibel" app on my iPhone which is surprisingly accurate, and playing the same track on iTunes on the two machines shows a clear difference in output volume (max). Between 8 and 10dB. It's clearly obvious just by ear, too.
The old MBP started behaving erratically (no drag and drop, bluetooth disappeared altogether) and since I'm away from home and the laptop is (in NASA-speak) "mission critical" I bought a new (very pretty) one while I could still transfer apps from the old to the new. Subsequently I was able to fix the problems on the old one (thanks to this list) however, my partner wants the old one (as a Windows-convert wannabe) so the older machine is going to be put to good use.

Why does the library image look much better than develop image?
I'm noticing a huge difference in IQ even after post processing between the library image and the develop image within Lightroom 2.1 itself. Any reason why? Thanks.
In what way? The Library image is just a rendering of the Develop image. In Develop, the sharpening and noise reduction are only applied at the 1:1 view to speed it up and to not lie to you (which it would if shown at lower magnification).

Official Apple reseller says "iPhone 5s's camera is much worse than the other"
Hi Apple support and fans,
I am writing to ask you and maybe get Apple's attention to what happened to me. I bought an iPhone 5s 8 days ago. I bought it from official Apple reseller in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. And then my adventures began.
First, the plug is British, not Polish, because as the reseller said "we have some iPhone not from official distribution, but it will work". Because I needed to buy an iPhone5s fast, I accepted that. However, the question is still there - is it legal to sell British iPhones "from unofficial distribution channel" in Poland?
Second, and more important, my iPhone 5s makes horrible blurred pictures. I mean they are really blurred... I read all the posts on this forum and I tried everything. Finally I decided to visit the reseller and here is what their representative said: "These pictures are totally fine. They are blurred, as this is not a professional camera". Wow! What a discovery. I know that this is not a professional camera, but I know how photos from an iPhone (4 and 4s) might look like. So I replied that something is strange and I wanted to give my iPhone back to check it (under warranty). The representative replied: "We will not take it, and I'm telling you the pictures are all fine. The camera in iPhone 5s is much worse than it was in iPhone 4s and hence the blurred photos. Just live with that".
And now my questions:
1. Is it true that the pictures must be blurred in iPhone 5s, just because it works so? I can't bvelieve it.
2. Isn't the fact that they sell iPhones from "unofficial channels" the reason why they don't want to take the iPhone under warranty?
If anyone from Apple wants to take a closer look at this issue and maybe discover some "strange" actions from Polish official Apple reseller, I'm open to provide you much more details on the purchase, the store location, etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
KubaiPhones are ONLY sold by Carriers and Apple an Apple reseller is unlikely to be authorised for iPhones and certainly would not sell an iphone with a foreign plug
You have clearly purchased a grey import a genuine Polish sourced iPhone sold by a legitimate iPhone reseller would have the correct plug for the Country
Big issue you have is warranty you need to take to an Apple authorised repairer

luckily as long as iPhone came from UK you do have warranty ,EU is one "country" for Apple warranty purposes -
On my iPhone 4s taking video then playing back ,the audio is so low you can barely hear it . I played older videos and the audio works perfect . All other audio works perfect on the phone too. I have no idea what is going on ?
Hey!
I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.

Why is the Log Area size much smaller than the log volume
I have been following up on an Early Watch report that has been generated for our production SCM 5.0 system running liveCache 7.6.02 Build 14. The alert says "The LOG volumes size in your system is too small. Recommendation: Configure LOG Volumes to at least 2 GB". There are two interesting things about this.
1) I have spent the last couple of days reading all the OSS Notes, and MaxDB documentation I could find, and this does not seem to be documented as a recommendation anywhere. Does this seem like a realistic recommendation without taking into account the level of change actifity?
2) There is a single log volume allocated with size 2,097,160 KB. In production LC10 and DBMGUI report this to be correct size under volume details, but only list the total log area size as 1,706,328 (81% of the volume size). We have a non-production environment with exactly the same size log volume, but it reports that the log area size is 2,032,008 KB (97% of the volume). What leads to these different amounts of wasted space, and is there any way of getting the database to start using it?
Thanks,
MarkHi Natalia,

Thanks for the explaination of the reserved space for the Log Queue pages. This does explain why there is the difference between the two. I think we probably have our log segment size too large. As you can see we do get occasional log queue overflows. Do you suggest we increase the size of our log IO queue higher, and allocate more log volume space to compensate?
